WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Penn College men's basketball team saw a six-point halftime lead quickly evaporate in the second half Wednesday when the Wildcats were outscored 58-28 by crosstown rival Lycoming College in a 93-69 nonconference defeat. Penn College now is 3-2, while Lycoming is 3-0.

After ties at 21-, 23- and 25-all, the lead went back-and-forth until the Wildcats went on an 8-0 spurt to close out the half on top, 41-35.

The Warriors opened the second half with a 9-0 burst to reclaim their lead, and after a tie at 45-all, doubled up on Penn College the rest of the way, 48-24, for their 24-point victory.
